If you done some GoAnimal games, you may be familiar with the popular "med ball slam dunk through hula hoop." This is a great game because it offers great movement and if you're so inclined, a major pump.
So, let's go one step further. Get yourself some of those plastic golf club separators (they're cheap plastic tubes). Set up your group across the room or field. At one end is the hoop master, holding the hula hoop at an appropriate level. At the other end is the athlete, holding a med ball and poised for action. In between is a line of hecklers, each holding two tubes, roughly at knee height. (These are the "logs" in the "log field.")
On the command "GO!" the athlete starts stepping/running over the "logs," then does a slam dunk through the hoop. As he goes to collect the rebound, the hoop master runs to the other end of the line and the whole process reverses direction. As you will soon see, the athlete gets a tremendous pump and even the hoop master gets some action.
If you don't have golf club tubes, you can simply play light defense. Defenders get between the athlete and the hoop and force him to maneuver. After the slam, the whole field changes direction.
